Description

N-Acetyl-4-benzoquinone imine is an antimicrobial agent that belongs to the class of paracetamol. It inhibits the enzyme form of acetaminophen (APAP). N-Acetyl-4-benzoquinone imine is a reactive compound and can cause oxidative injury in cells. This drug has been shown to have cytotoxic effects on cells at physiological levels and a concentration-time curve similar to acetaminophen. N-Acetyl-4-benzoquinone imine also affects mitochondrial membrane potential and matrix effect, which may be due to its ability to inhibit mitochondrial enzymes. The toxic effects of N-Acetyl-4-benzoquinone imine are reversible after it is metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes.
